Re: how much money would you bring home in a month after taxes are taken out?
As others have already said, the word "decent" is relative, depending on many factors. At my first job I was bringing home $900 net income every month, and I thought that if I could only bring home $2,000, I would be set. A year later I was netting $1,900 a month, but I had more expenses now, so that amount didn't look that decent anymore. Right now my net monthly income is $6,000, which is pretty decent by most people's standards; however, with the house prices here in Southern California (decent houses starting at $800K-900K), it looks like I'll be living in my condo for a while before I save enough money to buy a house.
